White video hits Perry, Toomey

You’ll recall last week it came out in court that Mike Toomey, the former chief of staff for Gov. Rick Perry, had paid to help get the Green Party on the ballot in Texas — presumably to draw votes away from Democrat Bill White.

Toomey has been controversial in the past because he was a lobbyist for Merck & Co. pharmaceuticals when Perry signed an executive order mandating teenage girls be vaccinated with a medicine produced by Merck against a cancer-causing sexually transmitted disease, HPV. Perry’s executive order eventually was overturned by the Legislature.

White’s campaign has now produced an Internet video linking the two events.
